I know a lot of my posts are about work, but so many kids now have no idea how to work, and by golly my kids will work! Anyway I have been teaching Beckett how to clean the toilet as his new job is the small bathroom downstairs, he is doing a great job!
Also, sweeping the dining room. Let me tell ya, he can sweep with the best of them! He is very entertaining to watch, sometimes he sweeps like he is Spiderman, or Superman, or Kung Fu Panda, you name it. But, he gets the job done and does a great job!
We started a new discipline - consequence rule sheet at the beginning of the year. It has been very helpful in taking emotion out of disciplining the kids, which is a big bonus for me. We have certain behaviors and consequences ranked from 1-3 in offence. Whatever behavior is done, they have to go and choose a same offence consequence. It's great! We made the list together and so when something happens I just tell them go and pick a consequence. It's been really nice. Love my kiddos, but teaching them to work and do things that are not fun or exciting, is a challenge. So here's to a good year!
